This page used to be the dining room but it doesn't have any windows and Ash hated it so now that's gone elsewhere and we've grandly called this the piano room - on account of the piano from my lovely Gran's house.
Before....
During....
after (but in its former dining roomy life)...
after becoming not a dining room....
Things we've done to this room:
- Bashed down the ceiling and removed all the beams (which were not original. The ceiling had also been lowered by more than a foot by a previous owner who must have liked caves and/or derelict pubs)
- Knocked out the chimney breast - but kept the flue (we'll sort the fire out later)
- Removed two gargoyles.
- Hastily re-siliconed the trap for the leaking shower above (hoping this won't come back to bite us later)
- Spotlights
- Skimmed the rough plaster walls and boarded over the exposed stone wall.
- Boarded and plastered the new higher ceiling.
- Spotlights.
- Attempted on hands on knees to scrub the flags clean but mostly failed and then gave up.
Still need to do:
- Install multi-fuel burner
- Clean and seal flags
Paint colour (in case we forget): Borrowed Blue.
